I got this to replace a short, cheaply made, stock cable, that came as part of a set... The cable is the best thing I've gotten from Musicians Friend in recent purchases.! I have recently bought items like mic stands, cables, music stands, even mics, but this one item has been the best quality of all of them.! It heavy made wire, has a thick wrap insulation, and tight fitting connectors at both ends.! This thing screams quality, for the money spent.! I only wish they came in longer, one piece, runs.! I'd love a fifty footer, without having to join two or more together..
